PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS
They Put Up Cut and Dried State
Ticket.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 17.-The Re-
publican state convention was devoid of
much interest, as the nominations were
practically made last evening. 1t was
evident to Col. Thomas j. Crimson, the
principal competitor of William j. Hart,
since Monday that he had no chance of
success, and this morning, realizing that
he could not command more than forty
or fifty votes, he withdrew as a candi-
date. Representative Brace, of Warren
county, had previously dropped out of
the race on account of his meager
support. The convention was very
slimly attended, the 204 dele
gates constituting more than half
of those in the opera house. There was
a notable absence of prominent Repub-
lican politicians. Walter Lyon, of Allie
gheny, was elected temporary chairman.
Mr.. Lyon made brief speech, in which
he urged upon the convention the i'm
portance of the campaign of this year,
because of the effect it will have on the
struggle for the presidency next year.
He trusted the platform would have no
uncertain sound on the great issues OF
the day. The usual committees were
appointed, one delegate from each sena-
tOrial district ON permanent organiza-
ton. William B. Hart was nominated
by the convention for state treasurer by
acclamation, and Henry w. Williams
for supreme Judge. The platform de-

ably fast. He could not see why there
should be any feeling about it or any
claim for differential. When asked
what would be done about the matter if
differential
WAS INSISTED ON,
Mr.. Dixon said he did not know. That
matter was wholly out of his jurisdic-
tlOn.. and whether the demand, if made,
would be acceded to or not was some
thing that belonged to the managers to
determine.
The albert Lea route" people were
III favor of differential. but admitted
that last year, when the Milwaukee Il st.
Paul and the Omaha put on fast trains,
the Albert Lea route said nothing and
did nothing. They claim. however, that
that was very different matter. Those
were limited trains that were then run.
They carried no secOnd-claSS pasSen-
gers. Passes or 1,0O0-mile tickets were
not good on the train. In other words

similar reasons, it is claimed that the
other roads should have differential.
The Wisconsin people have no
doubt that differential should be al
lowed, still they said the whole matter
was in the hands of the managers.

Not Fit to Live.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA small boy, who

lice, created a good deal of excitement

STANFORD REPLIES
To the Demand Made by the Rail-
way Commission.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE an
swer filed in the United States circuit
court by Senator Stanford, of the Cen
tral Pacific company, giving his reasons
for refusing to answer certain questions
of the Pacific Railway commission, sets
forth that the business of the company
has grown so vast during the twenty
five years of his connection with it, ag-
gregating S400,000,00 that he can no
longer recall mere details. He has tried
to comply with the wishes of the conf
mission, and has caused to be prepared
statements giving all the information
available. All the officers and employees
of the company have cheerfully re-
SpOnded to all SummOnseS of the COM
mission. In regard to the suggestion
that the act of congress creating the
company may be repealed, Mr.. Stanford
says the provisions of the act have been
complied with. The repeal of the
act would not destroy the company,
which does not owe its existence to the
act, but to the laws of California. The
repeal might affect bOuntieS, but not the
existence of new company. The af-
fairs of the company have been annually
examined by government officials and
the accounts adjudged and accepted by
the government. The present investiga-
ton has extended beyond the affairs of
the Central Pacific, and INTO those of all
allied companies, exposing their rela-
tiOns to the scrutiny of business rivals
and competitors. Mr.. Stanford denies
having refused to answer questions
asked, and the line of examination pur-
sued has manifestly been prompted by
hostile parties, whose aim is more the
pursuit of personal enmity of a private
character than the interests of the pub
lie or the ends of justice.
By order of the Pacific railway COM
mission, Gov. Pattison, chairman, to-day
sent the following dispatch to President
Cleveland:
Two suits are pending in the United States
circuit court of this district involving the
right of this commission to examine witness
concerning the payment of money to infiu-
ence legislation. As we are under your i'm
mediate direction, we respectfully request
your judgment as to whether or not we
should employ counsel to assist the district
attorney. Our judgment is that we should.
Please answer. --e

DIR. McGLYNN.
He Still Has Friends Among the
Catholic CLERGY.

Catholic Clergy.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Two state
ments were made public yesterday that
give a great deal of pleasure to the
friends of DR.. McGlynn. One was, in
effect, that at the recent celebration Of
Rev. DR.. Burtsell's twenty fifth ami
versary as pastor of the church of the
Epiphany, DR.. McGlynn was one Of
the thirteen clerical friends invited to
dine with DR.. Burtsell in honor of the
occasion, and the invitation was ac-
cepted. 1t was further stated that none
of the other clergymen made the slight
est objection to the presence of the eX-
statement was that few days later DIR.
McGlynn dined at Long Beach with a
company of Catholic clergymen and
prelateS, including Burtsell, Bishop
Moore, of Florida; Rev. DR.. Nc
Sweeney, of st. Bridget's-who, it is
said, will be made bishop before long.
and Rev. DR.. Curran. This is not ex-
actly correct, but the first report is en-
tirely so, according to DR.. McGlynn
himself. He was asked about the mat
ter in the Grand Central station last;
evening, as he was about to start for
Syracuse.
III is 1acC, ne SalQ, 'tnaC L IOOk Q1nner,

you mention at Long Beach also, but the,
meeting was entirely accidental 1 wenti
down there with my sisters children. l dids
not, however. dine with the party"
A few of DR.. McGlynn's friends seems
to think that this action will cause the
archbishop to take DIR. Burtsell to task.
Whether this will be done, or has beena
done already, could not be ascertained3
last evening. Friends of DR.. Currana
are indignant at the reiteration of thei
statement that he has Abandoned DIR.
McGlynn. Said one of them last night:
''Dr. Curran's position is simply this: He.
was told by his ecclesiastical superior that hes
had done wrong in attending the labor picnic.
He replied that he was not aware of the fact.
but if so, he was sorry for it. Furthermore,
he told the archbishop that if he ordered HIM
to attend no more gatherings of the kind, has;
would respectth order. DR.. Curran is still
solid for MeGlynn. OF that you may rest as.

JUMPED THE TRACK.
A Wreck on the Baltimore &
Ohio at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE St.
Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati express
train, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
due here at $40 this morning, was ap-
preaching the city at a high rate of
speed. The engineer found that the
air-brakes were not working properly
and blew the whistle for the ordinary
brakes. 1t was too late, however, to
check the momentum of the ira n, and
it ran upon the "Y" near the depot at
the rate of forty miles an hour. There
is sharp curve, and the express car
jumped the track and struck the signal
tower. A general wreck ensued, and
badly smashed. The tower, which was
a fOur-story building, was cut from its
foundations as if by razor. The en-
gineer, Hamilton BrOsius, of Balti-
more, was badly scalded. He was
taken into Mrs. Ella Dents house,
632 Delaware avenue, where he died
on the floor two hours after
ward. The fireman, named Smith,
jumped from the engine and had
his legs broken. He is not expected to
live. Will Baxter, the operator en-
sployed in the tower, saw the train and
saved himself by jumping out of the
window and catching in tree near by.
Joe Healey, boy employed in the
tower, was seriously hurt. When the
men began to clear away the wreck
there was man in the wreck
VERY MUCH EXCITED,
who would not leave but showed fight.
He dug desperately at the broken tim
bers and heaps of brick. When ordered
away by policeman he turned saw
agely and said: "If you don't let me
alone I'll knock HI out of you. My
son is there" He was let alone, and
continued the desperate struggle until
he had uncovered the bruised and bat
tered form of his son. Some of the
passengers on the wrecked train re-
turned to their Western homes instead
of continuing on their journey to the
East. The following is believed to be
full list of the injured They were sent
to the Providence hospital, with the
exception of Healey and Baxter.
Charles Koch, Cincinnati, badly injured in
the back.
Mrs. Charles Koch. Cincinnati, slightly
shocked.
Charles Morrison, Cincinnati, injured in the
back.
Frank Denauer, St. Louis, shoulder dislo-
j. B. Smith, fireman, Cincinnati, both legs
broken.
William Buck, Cincinnati, head cut badly.

jured

ton, painfully injured about the head.
The injuries of Mr.. Koch may prove
fatal. The Chicago and Cincinnati
sleepers did not leave the track.

WHAT WILL THEY DO?
Gossip Among Officials Over the
New Fast Chicago Trains.


New Fast Chicago Trains.
Many of the railroad officers in St.
Paul were yesterday, asked what would
be done about the new fast trains that
are to be put on on the Omaha, the Bur
lington & Northern and the Milwaukee
& st. Paul roads between st. Paul and
Chicago next Saturday. On the part of
some of the railroads good deal of feel
ing was manifested, and most of the
men belonging to the roads that will not
put on fast trains were of the opinion
that nothing but a differential would
satisfy them. 1t is claimed that if the
fast train roads will allow the other
roads differential, the latter can take
the bulk of the travel, notwith-
standing the trains on the fast
roads arrive at their destination
a little earlier. They claim that
they can get into Chicago nearly as
quickly as the fast trains can, so that
the difference in time is not very per-
eeptible, while 81 or 3 on ticket is a
very important item, and one that al
most any man would consider seriously.
They believe that almost invariably
men will take the lowest rate when the
difference in the time of arrival is so
slight as it is in this case.
Mr.. Dixon, of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul, said he had not the least idea
what would be done. So far as his road
was concerned there was nothing to be
done. 1t. with the Burlington & North
ern. had fixed the time for running the
trains to correspond with the time
named by the Minnesota d Northwest
ern. Ali the other roads had the same
right and privilege to fix the same time
if they desired to do so; because the
time named is not excessive or remark

The Pacific Mail.

New YORK, Aug. 17.-At the Pacific
mail directors meeting to-day the eX-

steps to reduce the capital stock one
half. and if this is done the payment of
dividends will be resumed at once. Pro-
poSalS are being received both here and
from England for two steamers of about
1000 tons, to cost about 100000 or $780,
600 each. No decisive action has been
taken on the purchase of the steamers,
but this will be arranged at another
meeting that may be held in few days.
The reduction in stock will take place

now. AT any rate certain business men
and officials will be glad to see him.
while some would doubtless prefer that
his dwelling place had not been found
out.
The story of Smiths departure is
hardly forgotten by the public. When
Cashier d. A. MOnfOrt went down to his
office, in the Second National bank, on
Monday morning, Nov. %, 1885, he was
surprised to learn that the handsome
young paying teller, Walter B. Smith,
had left the city for parts unknown, and
that the Second National bank was
about 1850 short. Smith came to the
where he had been employed in the
Chatham branch of the Merchants Ma
tiOnal bank of Canada, and his relia-
billty was assured by the Guarantee
Company of North America. Smith
was of very polite address and pleasing
manners, and had worked himself up
from an irresponsible position in the
bank to be paying teller and was trusted
implicitly. He was fayorite in the
BEST SOCIETY CIRCLES.
He left behind him a heart-broken
young girl, to whom he was engaged.
He had been studying the timetables of
New York, New Orleans, and San Fran
cisco, and had cOnversed with several
parties about Australia. On Sunday
afternoon, at O'Clock, he took stroll
with his roommate, Mr.. Blaikie. and
when they returned to their rooms, on
Tenth street, opposite the capitol, young
Smith departed down street, and he was
not seen or heard of until lately the
agents of the Guarantee Company of
North America got wind Of his where
abOuts.
Capt. G. S. Bunker represents the
Guarantee company in this city, and he
received word that Smith was a vagrant
at Fort Worth, Tex, and that the po-
lice had had him up on the charge of
vagrancy. Capt. Bunker consulted
with County Attorney Egan as to
whether the case came under the juriS-
diction of the state or the
United States. These gentle
men held conference with Assistant
Attorney-General Child yesterday
afternoon. They finally came to the
decision that it was case for the
United States courts to look after.
Capt. Bunker then went to Assistant
United States Attorney Dan Lawler,
and the result was that dispatch was
sent to the district attorney at Fort
Worth, Tex, telling him to apprehend
Defaulter Smith. 1t is necessary for
Capt. Bunker to have some one to 60
down to identify Smith, and swear to
an affidayit as to the crime.

full justice to the people of Ireland by con-
fiding to them in spirit alike generous and

lamented that years of the precious legis-
